Music, baseball, soccer, tennis, CFB, coffee, beer, whiskey, etc. Always go to the show.

Harvard, FSU, Bayern, ATLUTD, Hibs, Ferrari, US(M/W)NT

There will be baseball here, but this is not exclusively, and maybe not even primarily, a work account.
Allston, PLEASE.

I may have missed it since I haven’t been watching this morning, but ask Nick if he would keep Lane on the sideline with him for a Championship game after he takes another job.

That’s right, we don’t have to.

Also? I’m less bothered by sark doing it than by the booth doing it for him. Way less.

One year the better half legit gave me the gift of “you’re planning a road trip vacation for us this summer.”

She meant it as a gift. I received it as a gift. It was such a joy.

Much to consider.

If you don’t absolutely revel in planning a road trip, you shouldn’t be planning a road trip.

I secretly (maybe not so secretly) dream of FSU returning to being an independent. It was so damn much fun.

Wait, conference commissioners are allowed to advocate for their teams? That can't be true.

I would describe them as melodic thrash. vocals are def not black/death style. Many of the lyrics are in maori. I really dig both their two most recent albums, Tangaroa and Te Rā.

"The Room" by Ostura (from Lebanon) is the best metal album I've ever heard, with the penultimate song "Duality" being one of my favorites.

I like the metal from Europe/Asia far better than American bands. Examples: Evergrey, Vanden Plas, Seventh Wonder.

Special shout out to Thrice, though.
